The soldiers and civilians of the German Provincial Reconstruction Team
(PRT) have made rehabilitating the school systems in Afghanistan a high
priority. The German PRT and the Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC)
are building two new schools together in the city of Feyzabad, where
classes are currently held in simple tents or in the open air, and
sanitary facilities are nonexistent. Each school will have 25
classrooms and cost about 150,000 euros (approx. $200,000 US) to build.
When completed after about six months, the two schools together will
instruct more than 1000 students.
